Portrait of a maker
Fin
Craftsman,
Artist,
Dreamer
Some people talk about what they want to do someday. Fin just does it — with his hands, in his workshop, every single day. This is his story.
childhood
He was already making things before he knew what making was
Some kids play outside. Others stay in to build something. Fin was that second kid. From an early age his hands had a purpose — to shape, to build, to create something that didn't exist before. Not because he had to. But because it felt like something he simply couldn't stop doing.
The materials changed over time. Cardboard became wood. A glue stick became a sanding machine. A drawing table became a workbench covered in tools and epoxy. But the drive stayed exactly the same: to make something beautiful with his own two hands.
Somewhere along the way, Fin discovered what happens when you combine wood with epoxy. That first time he poured ocean blue into a wooden panel and watched it slowly harden into something that looked like a frozen wave — that moment changed everything. This was it. This was what he was made for.
Today he stands in his own workshop. The workbench carries the marks of hundreds of pieces. And Fin is there every single day — safety glasses on, hands full of sawdust, and a head full of new ideas.
When I'm working, everything else disappears. Just the wood, the epoxy, and what I want to create. That feeling — that's the reason I do this.— Fin, Fin's Creations
Without these people, there would be no Fin's Creations
Talent alone is never enough. Behind every maker are people who say: keep going. For Fin, there are three — and they're closer to home than you'd think.
His parents
They saw it in him before he saw it in himself. While he was crafting as a child, his parents didn't just see a kid playing — they saw someone who was genuinely good at something. They gave him the space, the resources, and above all the belief to grow. On the hard days — and there have been hard days — they were the ones who said: keep going. That is what made Fin who he is.
The people who buy his work
There is no greater compliment than someone saying: I want this in my home. Every customer who buys a piece from Fin gives him more than money — they give him confirmation. That what he makes is worth something. That it matters. That there's a world out there that values his art. He takes that energy straight back into the workshop.
Himself
Ultimately, Fin is his own toughest critic. A piece isn't finished until it's good — not half good, not almost good, but truly good. That internal standard pushes him to improve, to learn and to grow. Not because anyone asks him to. But because he knows he has it in him.
Three kinds of art. One common denominator: Fin.
No machine. No factory. Just two hands, the right materials, and a man who knows exactly what he wants to make. Every piece is unique — and that's not a marketing line, that's simply the truth.
Coastal Art & Epoxy Oceans
This is the work that makes people stop and stare. On wooden panels, Fin pours layer upon layer of epoxy in shades of deep blue, turquoise and broken white — until something emerges that you can almost hear. Waves that seem to move. Foam that seems to break. A sea captured in wood and resin, ready to hang on your wall. Every board tells a different story, because Fin never repeats himself.
Handcrafted Lamps
A lamp from Fin is not just a lamp. It's a mood piece. Made from carefully selected wood, with an eye for detail and warmth. When it turns on, the room changes. That's not coincidence — that's craftsmanship.
Wall Decor & Custom Work
Want something that exists nowhere else? Something for someone you love, or a piece that fits your space perfectly? Fin makes it. Custom, with care, without compromise.
Patience isn't a trait of Fin's. It's his tool.
Choosing the wood
Everything begins with the right plank. Fin walks along them, feels the grain, reads the texture. Wood has character — and that character determines what it can become. A wrong choice here can't be undone. Fin takes his time.
Sanding & preparing
Before a single drop of epoxy enters the picture, the wood has to be perfect. Sanding, smoothing, levelling. Safety glasses on, sawdust on his shirt, Fin works methodically — because good preparation is half the work. The other half, really, too.
Pouring the epoxy
This is where magic and chemistry meet. Layer by layer, Fin pours the epoxy — each colour at the right moment, in the right amount. Too fast means air bubbles. Too little patience means a ruined piece. Fin never rushes. And you can see that in every finished work.
Polishing to perfection
Once the epoxy has cured, the finest and most demanding part begins. Sand. Polish. Sand again. Until the surface is so smooth you can see the reflection of the ocean in it. Only then is it done. Only then does Fin let it go.
He's only just
getting
started
Through his webshop Fin's Creations, he sells his work to people who want something real — something with a story, with soul, made by two hands. Every piece that finds a new home isn't an ending. It's a beginning. Of a new customer. A new idea. A new piece that still needs to be made. Fin doesn't stop. And honestly — we hope he never will.
